My household has been practicing social distancing and we are staying home except in emergencies. We follow the guidelines set forth by the CDC website.
Here's the part that sucks: my wife works for the Michigan Secretary of State's office (some states call it the DMV) issuing/renewing drivers licenses, registering vehicles/boats, titles....etc
Her work has mandated that they work two extra hours daily, still doing these menial non-critical tasks, in close contact with the public despite our governor closing ALL k-12 schools and colleges and bars/restaurants statewide and asking employers to "step up and work with/help" employees affected by these restrictions and closures.
Yet the state she represents is not stepping up but rather going against CDC guidelines and taking the opposite approach.
We have a clean safe house and every day she comes home resets a two week clock to wait and see if she/we are infected.
That seems to be just begging for community transmission, especially with the most recent findings suggesting asymptomatic carriers really fueling the spread.
